Vibration/thumping in front suspension. More than likely.drivers front
2002 Ford Sport Trac Vibration/thumping. More speed, the more it vibrates, shakes, and makes the thump thump thump sound. Passenger side mirror shows no sign of movement… Drivers side mirror shakes quite a bit. No noticeable noises other than the thumping. No hard pulling to either side in steering wheel. No difference when braking. Any input would be very much appreciated!
Try rotating the tires. You may have a flat spot or cupping.
Check the CV Axle if it is 4wd. Also check the tires, look for an unusual wear pattern compared to the other tires. Possible CV axle, Bad wheel bearing.
Sounds like you've got a ply separating in that tire, rendering it unbalanced. UNSAFE TO DRIVE! Get that tire replaced NOW.
Tire could be unbalanced. Could have a rock stuck in the tread. You should look.

- 2002 Ford Explorer Sport Trac 4X4 Re: Vibration/thumping like sound. Drivers front Someone mentioned the transfer case. Someone responded to that inquiry… They said it probably wasn't the transfer case that would lead to a specific side being affected, but that it COULD be the U-joint in the drive axle. Would that be the U-joint that couples the transfer case to the "short shaft"? If so, if I remove the short shaft, should the vibration/thumping stop? Any input will be greatly appreciated!
